Simulation and Practical Evaluation of Volatge Regualtion for DC-DC Conveters Controlled by Model Predictive Controller

Abstract

The DC/DC converter is in charge of achieving constant output in the renewable energy systems in the most effective way. This paper investigates the performance of Buck DC/DC and the advanced DC/DC luo converter with Model Predictive Control (MPC) in solar energy system. MPC is the most widely used of al advanced methodologies in industrial application. The system has been implemented practically and validates using MATLAB/SIMULINK. A simulation has been carried out with hardware interface toolbox. In addition, a comparison between the simulation and practical results, have been presented. The results show stable operational performance under different conditions and the output voltage has been regulated even for the advanced DC Luo converter.
